Chapter 178
Yin Changying knew very early on that in this world, there were far more people who hated him than those who loved him; There are far more people who want him to die than those who desire him to live.
Countless people hope that he is well, not out of concern for him, but simply because they rely on him to exist, and if he falls, they will be finished.
The palace people are like this, the temple people are like this, the beauties are like this, and the queen mother and relatives are also like this.
It is precisely because of this dependency that the first thing that every king does after taking power is to replace the important ministers of the court with his own henchmen.
These courtiers, who had ascended to heaven in one step, were naturally afraid of being disgusted by the king and losing their existing glory and wealth. In order to maintain his position, he obeyed the king's orders.
Someone who doesn't ask for anything, is purely good to him?
He really hadn't seen it.
Including Auntie, he once thought that she had something to ask for him.
It's just that what he seeks is not material, but emotional dependence, and through him, to realize the ideal in his heart.
If either of the two is not reached, with her pride, she will surely turn around and go away without any hesitation.
But this is already rare purity.
Even if everyone carefully figures out his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, pays attention to his preferences, observes his words and feelings, and caters to him in every way. But no one but her would really care about him.
For this true feeling, he did not hesitate to pay some sincerity.
Gradually, the false became genuine, and the exception became the rule.
Over time, they really become like "relatives".
Yin Changying didn't mind that his courtiers or concubines knew what kind of person he was, and he never concealed his coldness and ruthlessness.
No matter what his personality is, as long as they ask for him, they will show their best in front of him.
Those who are lower give their abilities, bodies, and loyalty, and those who are higher give power, status, and wealth.
This is an equivalent exchange that is not equivalent, the initiative is all on Yin Changying's side, and others have no choice at all.
If it's a deal, don't expect the sincerity of others.
His own mother treated him like an enemy, let alone others.
But everyone thought that he was different for his aunt.
For this reason, there are those who envy, those who hate, those who flatter openly, and those who are secretly slandered.
No matter what kind of mood they have, it is all based on the fact that they think that "the king is different from Kokubu".
Everyone firmly believed that in the king's place, only Kokumo-sama was his relative and could receive preferential treatment, and they were all just outsiders.
Yin Changying knew what everyone else thought, but he didn't admit it, and he didn't deny it.
But deep down, he didn't think so.
For him, Yin Ji is not much different from other courtiers.
It's just that her strength determines that he is far more favorable to her than others; And her character convinced him that no matter how much he indulged her, he would not pose any threat to the country and him, so it didn't matter if he was more lenient.
That's all.
But what exactly does Yin Ji think?
Yin Changying once thought that Yin Changying didn't know.
I don't know that the first king was cruel and cruel to her, and I don't know that his brother's affection for her is just a means to gain her loyalty.
Even if a gentle and kind person knows all this, he will not say that he has a grudge and plots revenge, but he will have a grudge and be wary of it.
But she has always been sincere and selfless towards him.
Therefore, Yin Changying has always believed that in Yin Changying's cognition, she was ignored by her parents and brothers when she was a child, and after he found out about this, he made all kinds of amends. She was blinded by the grace he had shown, and she really thought that the relationship between their brother and sister was indestructible.
Yin Changying did not regret what he had done.
It doesn't matter if it was fake in the past, fake now, and fake in the future.
Grandma thinks it's true, and that's enough.
As long as Auntie remains the way she is and does not harbor any disagreement with him, he will always give Auntie the status of one person and above ten thousand, and fulfill any wish she has.
Grain was given to the people, roads were built with dependents, and the precious Naidan was used in boilers and trains...... These were not originally in Yin Changying's plan.
Since Auntie wants to do this, it doesn't hurt to satisfy her.
But......
After a short period of dead silence, Yin Changying said slowly: "Auntie, raise your head and look at Lonely." ”
Yin Ji knew that once he mentioned the incident ten years ago, with Yin Changying's acumen, he would definitely understand everything.
Is it a good thing to debunk the fact that you know from beginning to end that a powerful king is ruthless, and all kinds of favors are just to control her, and that there is no real affection for her in essence?
Yin Ji didn't know.
But at this moment, her heart was extremely peaceful.
And when she raised her eyes to look at Yin Changying, she found that his expression was calmer than the sea.
Without waiting for Yin Changying to ask, she had already smiled softly, her eyebrows were colder than the moonlight, but her expression was more gentle than Nuan Yang: "Even if the beginning is not so good, if from beginning to end, it is the eldest brother who is unilaterally paying, and I blindly ask for it, then the ending will definitely not be good, right?" ”
True or false, it doesn't matter that much.
Even if the friendship is fake, it can fall to her, one by one, and one by one is true.
Power, status, glory, respect......
Whether she needed it or not, what he could give it to her had been given to her beyond the specifications, and even broke the obstacles in her heart and guided her life.
And her ideals and hopes have also been realized through him.
Isn't that enough?
Yin Changying looked at Yin Cheng steadily, and in an extremely calm tone, he slowly repeated the loopholes in Yin Hui's words: "Lone has been paying? ”
"Isn't it?"
Of course not.
As early as two years ago, when Yin Cheng just came back, Zheng Gao reported to Yin Changying, "The princess doesn't have anything she likes."
Whether it is Hanzhang Hall or Anche, all of them are his rewards, or the things offered by Shaofu according to the regulations, none of them are Yin Xi's real favorite items.
There is no doubt that this is not normal.
Only those who have no attachment to what is available and are ready to withdraw at any time will have this attitude.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have changed his plan temporarily, and he would have built the middle rooftop and left her in Shanglin Yuan.
Yin Changying knows very well that Yin Changying is not without preferences.
She likes music, but she neither raises a band, musicians, nor does she like to collect expensive musical instruments, but does not fake the hands of others, carefully made a musical instrument called "transposition Konghou", in order to preserve Konghou, but also deliberately used magic power to open up a small storage space, just to carry it closely, must not leave, and play two songs to entertain herself when she has nothing to do.
That's how much I like it.
As for the gold, silver, jewelry, and antique utensils he rewarded, she all stayed in the Hanzhang Palace.
These treasures that others dream of and represent the supreme glory belong to her "Of course it's good to have it, it doesn't matter if you don't have it", and they are not taken into her eyes at all.
All she really wants is emotional value.
But this is the only one he has not given.
